Biotite, muscovite, chlorite, talc, garnet, and kyanite are common in schist.
The most common minerals in gneiss are quartz, potassium feldspar, and sodium feldspar. Smaller amounts of muscovite, biotite and hornblende are common. Gneiss can also form from gabbro or shale.
Biotite is the most common form of mica.
schist
schist and gneiss arefoliated and in gneiss you can see the bands.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
Gneiss can be formed by the metamrphism of either granite or schist.
granite
Schist has A LOT of mica in it
Both are foliated metamorphic rocks in which individual minerals can be seen with the naked eye. The difference is that gneiss is generally more coarsely crystalline and has color banding and schist smells bad.
Gneiss may form from either granite or schist.
Gneiss could eventually form from granite or from schist.
